After Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. joined the Supreme Court, his wife, Jane Sullivan Roberts, gave up her career as a law firm partner to become a high-end legal recruiter in an effort to alleviate potential conflicts of interest. Mrs. Roberts later recalled in an [interview](https://www.lawdragon.com/legal-consultant-limelights/2021-11-22-legal-consultant-limelights-jane-sullivan-roberts) that her husband’s job made it “awkward to be practicing law in the firm.”
